Surnames: Allen, Moore Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HiB.2ACI/2477.1.2 Message Board Post: Brenda, I'm interested in James Joseph Allen -- can you give me any background on him? My gggrandfather was named James Allen and may have been from Sumner County TN. I'm interested because my James had a son that he named Joseph and a daughter that he named Henrietta. Did James Joseph ever emigrate to Illinois? Did he live around the late 1700's, early 1800's? We're having a terrible time locating our James Allen and I'm trying to research any possibilities/ Thanks for any help you can provide -- Julie(Allen)Stukel
